Thought of the day - What's the point

o I came across
this outside of Philadelphia. The sign is in front of a Barnes and Noble and
you walk past it if you use the main entrance to the store. Now, my guess is
Barnes & Noble didn't ask for this sign...more likely Baker Properties put
it up. But, the question is why?

Does anyone care
that they own the building? Will people come from miles around and pass other
bookstores to shop at this one because Baker Properties owns this building? Or,
will people see this building (which is a big ugly box) and fall so head over
heels for it that they'll be desperate to lease one just like it from Baker
Properties? Probably not...my guess...Mr/Ms Baker has an ego problem. There's
a Ferrari/Maserati dealer on the same street about 3 blocks down...I bet Mr/Ms
Baker is a customer (or hopeful customer) there.

And if you're going
to put up a monument to yourself, at least keep it in good repair (notice the
decorative brass ball is missing from the right side).
